I also include Zahid?s version 1.0, which I have edited drastically due to focus, length and repetition. He has not had a chance to review my version 2.0 yet, either, as he is hopefully asleep right now. Margie, this is tentative, subject to modification upon formal review of our membership, but Zahid and I believe it represents consensus of the BC. We ask you to please hold it, and do not submit the Initial Report to the Council, until at least 3pm PST today, to allow our members the chance to offer comments to me and Zahid, for possible further editing today. Thanks, Mike Mike Rodenbaugh RODENBAUGH LAW 548 Market Street San Francisco, CA 94104 (415) 738-8087 http://rodenbaugh.com [attachment "BC Minority Report v2.0.docx" deleted by Martin C SUTTON/GMO/HSBC] [attachment "BC Minority Report v1.0.docx" deleted by Martin C SUTTON/GMO/HSBC] ************************************************************ HSBC Holdings plc Registered Office: 8 Canada Square, London E14 5HQ, United Kingdom Registered in England number 617987 ************************************************************ ----------------------------------------- SAVE PAPER - THINK BEFORE YOU PRINT!
